The Daily Grind: 7-10-13

The Daily Grind provides daily match-up advice for tinkerers and daily fantasy players. I welcome advice to help make this column more effective, including notice of impending weather events, new injuries, and changes to platoon situations. Ownership rates are from Yahoo!

The daily picks are a mixture of Daily League specific advice and information for the more typical fantasy owner.

Tomorrow’s grind

Pitcher (to start): Danny Salazar is a solid pitching prospect, but you don’t hear about him too often. He will be making his big league debut against a difficult Blue Jays lineup. Most Yahoo league will have him on waivers, so watch the game if you’re interested in him.

Noteworthy news

The Biogenesis scandal is heating up. Or more precisely, it is expected to be allowed to heat up once the All-Star break is over. The AP seems to think suspensions are likely and while that may be true, they’re far from certain given the information publicly available.

Weather watch

Storms continue to be scattered throughout the Northeast today. Games in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Cleveland, and New York (AL) could be affected.
